DIY Book Cover with Dailylike

I have been super obsessed with Dailylike recently. Dailylike is a Korean crafting supplies brand, and they have THE cutest things! 

The brand is available at Log On in Hong Kong, and they have a fair variety of items for you to choose from. 

Last week I got a fabric sticker, a fabric tape, and some regular fabric. I had a Minnie notebook I got from the samples of the company where I work {I work in the toys industry}, and I wanted to change the cover, which is fine for 4 year-olds but not that great for me!

The Fabric Sticker is perfect to renew a notebook, book, folder, or just for general scrapbooking. It's just so easy! It's like when I used to line my school books with transparent cover paper back in primary school so that they wouldn't get damaged. Same thing, easy peasy. 

Then I added some fabric tape on the corners of the notebook and on the spine. Finally I cut a small rectangle from the flowery fabric and wrote Thoughts on it, because that's what I'm planning on using this notebook for, and stuck the fabric to the notebook with some more cute fabric tape. Tadaaa! :) 

Now you know how to renew your Fifty Shades series so that people will stop staring at you for reading such a novel in public =D

Wedding Wednesday: Our Own Royal Wedding

Happy Wednesday everyone! As promised, here are some pics of the venue for our wedding reception in Hong Kong. As I mentioned previously, we will be having a wedding reception for our Hong Kong family and friends on December 29, 2013. Our banquet will be held at Royal Wedding, in the China Hong Kong City Building, Tsim Sha Tsui. 

The venue was not set up for a wedding on the day we visited it to take these pics, so you'll have to wait until our wedding to see the real thing!

Please ignore the Chinese New Year decor...

One special feature for today's Wedding Wednesday post, is I'm opening it up to you guys to link up your own posts ! All I ask is for your post to be wedding related and you to follow me on GFC. I'm looking forward to your links!!!

Sift Patisserie @ Prince's Building, Central

Yesterday my colleague and friend Marie joined J and I on our sweet treats quest. You may remember I blogged about Sift Patisserie in Wan Chai not so long ago. Since that time we only got to try two cupcakes and one petit four, I had to go back to explore some more! So we headed to the branch in Prince's Building, Central, which has pros and cons compared to the Wan Chai one. The Wan Chai branch has way more food variety, but there is no sitting area. The one in Central has less to choose from but 4 convenient tables are available.

It was great that Marie joined us, we had a great time and we got to order more food too!

This time we had four cupcakes and two petit fours, what a feast! We had the Strawberry, Red Velvet, Lemon, and Salty Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes; and the Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch, and Strawberry Muffin with Cream.

As I said on my previous review about Sift, their cupcakes are highly overrated. Specially the Red Velvet one, I still can't understand some people agree on it being THE Red Velvet Cupcake in town. NO WAY. I liked the Strawberry Cupcake (4.5*) and the Salty Caramel Chocolate Cupcake (4.5*) the most. Those were truly delicious. The Red Velvet (3.5*) and the Strawberry Muffin (3*) were average, while the lemon cupcake (1*) was well below average. The Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch was good (4*).

A Pink Chinese New Year

The year of the Snake is just a week away, and the whole city is filled with decorations for the Chinese New Year. Today, walking around New Town Plaza in Shatin, I found these pink decorations matched my outfit too much not to take pictures! :D

Since the camera was already out, I took some pics at Agnes B., too. Agnes B is a fashion retailer, florist and cafe! I love the gorgeous tiles on the floor of the floristry :)

Fine Foods - The Royal Garden's Cozy Cake Shop

The Royal Garden Hotel has a hidden gem known to few: Fine Foods, the coziest cake shop in Tsim Sha Tsui. Every time I pass by I can't help but stare at it for a while. The cakes are gorgeous, but I even like the interior design better. I love the floor tiles, the brightness, the colors, the big flower bouquet, and just about everything! Their packaging is gorgeous, too!

Because of its rather inconvenient location in Tsim Sha Tsui East, few Hong Kongers know about this cute cake shop. Now that you know about it, are you gonna give it a try? I myself still haven't tried any of their cakes, when I took these pictures it was not "cake time" at all, but I will certainly be visiting again soon!
